And he has caught the eye sufficiently to earn a three-year deal at the KC Stadium, firstly as an Academy scholar before two further years as a young professional.

"West Brom came to talk to me and I went up to Wolves too, but Hull stood out for me," Bowen told BBC Hereford & Worcester.

"They're a Premier League club on the up. It's a massive opportunity for me and I've just got to go up there and try to take my chance."

Midfielder Murphy has signed a one-year contract for the coming season with Bristol City, who have also brought in another midfielder from Spanish top flight side Valencia, Luis Gilabert, to join their academy at Ashton Gate.

The Bulls, who will use the next three weeks to arrange a Company Voluntary Arrangement to help clear their debts, still owe money to various creditors, including former managers, Martin Foyle, who left the club in March, and Peter Beadle.
